The entrance of a tunnel reportedly dug by Palestinians beneath the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel and recently uncovered by Israeli troops, on October 13, 2013. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated the army “for exposing the Gaza terror tunnel” at a weekly cabinet meeting this morning.
The Israeli military said Sunday it has uncovered a concrete-lined tunnel dug under the border from Gaza into Israel that it alleges could be used to attack or kidnap civilians.
